Hi everyone, I have added a new section into the classes part of the website … it is called ‘A Quick Look’. If you click on it you will see a calendar sequence of all our classes with an indication of where there are spaces … many of you have asked for this , and in particular, information of where there are still spaces.. so, hopefully , this will be helpful to you all… there are a few new classes that are not yet on the website even … I will be adding them over the coming days … so watch this space

the new program of classes for the rest of 2019 , 2020 and a few in 2021 is nearly complete, just waiting for one new tutor to give me title and dates then the newsletter will go out to my mailing list… but do have a look at what s on offer … three new tutors offering amazing courses as well as all the other talented tutors proposing some brand new classes

The programme of new classes is here, although all the sessions are listed in the classes section of this site, not all the information sheets are there yet, so please bear with me, I am going as fast as I can … still waiting on a couple of requirements lists here and there

Just had a cancellation for Amanda Hislop’s Imagined Seascapes class… it will take place on Thurs/Fri 15&16th February and it will cost £110 for the two days ..full description and information sheet with requirements etc can be found on the classes section of this website http://www.granarystudio.com ..it will be a fun two days in the Granary Studio in Owslebury just outside Winchester. If you havent been here before, do give us a try … tea and coffee and biscuits available all day, just bring your own lunch .. please contact me on granarystudio@hotmail.com if you are interested

How can we be at the end of January, it feels as though we have only just put the Xmas decs away … February sees the start of the new years’ classes so things are revving up now, my Creative Textiles and Procion Printing long courses are starting again this week, as is Mel’s life drawing … Amanda Hislop returns to the Granary to teach her ‘Imagined Seascapes’ too…

Caroline Bell is offering a brand new class titled ‘Natural dyeing ‘ in response to requests from preious students .. she has spaces on this, so if you are interested in dyeing rather than printing, then come along to try it out ..two tuesdays 13 & 20 Feb, more details in the classes section of this website, it is £100 for the two days, all dyes included.. should be a great couple of days, let me know if you are interested.

The life drawing is roughly once a month and although we have a nucleus of regular students there are often the odd space so if you wish to go on that email list offering these spaces, please contact me..

thats it for now, more things coming up in March, will let you know at the end of feb

Next week sees the Festival of Quilts at the NEC in Birmingham … it runs from Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th August … the Granary Studio will be there … we have a stand QIA24 where the students will talk to anyone interested in our classes…. I have creaed a book with images and details of the fun we have here, and a glimpse of our tutor team which now numbers 8!… hope to see some of you there, do pop by and say hello
